    He 
    was sleeping 
    in 

    the workroom 

    With a mattress 
    on the 
    floor 

    When 
    one 
    night 
    heard 
    him 
    crying 

    As 
    I passed 
    outside 
    his door 

    Verse 8
    He cried, 
    "Rita, 
    girl, 
    I love 
    you 

    Rita, 
    darling, 
    please 
    don't 
    go 

    I've 
    tried 
    hard 
    to make 
    you happy 

    I've done 
    everything 
    know" 

    Verse 9
    Then 
    I heard 
    the bottle 
    open 

    The 
    tipping 
    up 
    and 
    putting 
    down 

    Heard the 
    rustling 
    of 
    the 
    covers 

    And 
    then 
    he did 
    not 
    make 
    a sound 

    Verse 10
    I thought 
    of thirty 
    years 
    of Rita 

    Standing 
    sternly 
    by 
    his 
    side 

    All 
    the years 
    of 
    hanging 
    in there 

    And 
    all 
    the emptiness 
    in
    side 

    And 
    thought 
    of 
    how 
    their children 
    Verse 11


    Have children 
    of 
    their 
    own 

    And how 
    man 
    at 
    fifty-seven 

    Wind
    Winds 
    up 
    living 
    so 
    alone 

    Won't 
    you 
    wake 
    up, 
    Uncle 
    Lloyd 
    Verse 12

    Got 
    lot 
    of work 
    today 

    We'll 
    get 
    Don 
    to 
    make 
    the cof
    fee 

    Load 
    that 
    truck 
    and 
    be on 
    your 
    way 

    Friday 
    night 
    you can 
    drive 
    to Vegas 
    Verse 13

    Maybe 
    this 
    time 
    you 
    will 
    win 

    Buy 
    trailer 
    by 
    the 
    river 

    And 
    you 
    won't 
    have 
    to 
    work 
    again

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
